How do you prefer death metal lyrically?

[EternalEnemy]

1. Gore LOLZ(Cannibal Corpse etc...)
2. Anti-christian(Deicide, Immolation etc...)
3. Supernatural evil/satanic(Old Morbid Angel, Possessed etc...)
4. Mythological, possibly with evil etc involved(Nile, newer Morbid Angel etc...)
5. Morbid, not necessarily gory but horror-filled, about suffering and zombies and whatever turns you on(Death, Obituary etc...)
6. Spiritual/philosophical(Death etc...)
7. Political and modern world(Napalm Death etc...)

Mine in order, from the best to worst:

[10293847]

Probably 3 and 4 more with a lot of imagination and description.

Morbid Angel's "Angel of Disease" is sort of what i'm talking about.

 

[Birkenau]

I like Graaaaaaawwrrrraaaawwwwrrrrrgaaaaaaar the best.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

it doesnt fucking matter because you cant understand the words.

 

[Hammer of Might]

3 and 4. 2 if they're actually creative.

 

[EternalEnemy]

Thats not the point, BMT. Its more about how do you feel about death metal. I personally may or may not appreciate some lyrics, but as an art itself. Lyrics dont add to a song, not for me. Nevertheless its sort of "funny" that they want to say something, and i like it as an art itself. Also, lyrics often are related to the bands sound. Cannibal Corpse sounds more gory and messy while Deicide sounds more hellish and evil. A band like Krisiun does not make you think of a haunted night with zombies and gore, and a band like Cryptopsy does not make you think of invocating an ancient god.

 

[polarity3]

dont care

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

me neither

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I love historical/mythological lyrcs. Gore can be cool.

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

Psychological and or mental pain induced. Inner spectrums of the mind. Schizophrenia. Horrible love lose, tragedy. Horror stories, like King Diamonds.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I usually dont pay attention to death metal lyrics. but I really like Nile lyrics... duh.

 

[Morpha]

Spiritual/Philosophical like Lykathea Aflame and Death
Out-there concepts like Wormed
Mythological stuff like Kronos is good
Morbid stuff like Cryptopsy is good too
Gore is alright, though overdone, and anti-christian/satanic is alright too.

 

[Thraxz]

A band like Krisiun does not make you think of a haunted night with zombies and gore...

You're right. Krisiun makes me think of a toilet after I just took a huge, explosive, watery shit in it.

 

[Arrakis]

i could give a damn

 

[Nico]

4. Mythological, possibly with evil etc involved(Nile, newer Morbid Angel etc...)
5. Morbid, not necessarily gory but horror-filled, about suffering and zombies

Yup, these two.

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

6. Spiritual/philosophical

Well, only the philosophical part. although I like morbid philosphy.

 

[Embryonic_Necropsy]

[Mercy/Severity]

Mythology, Evil, Satanic, Anti-Christian floats my boat. Also fantasy lyrics.

 

[Vital Remains]

I like it lyrically. but im more of a death metal guitar playing fanatic. But i dont take the lyrics seriously. I would be stabbing and sacraficing people if i did

 

[Vital Remains]

You're right. Krisiun makes me think of a toilet after I just took a huge, explosive, watery shit in it.

that was funny dude.
